Hey everyone, I'm hoping to get some advice about my setup. I'm using ComfyUI, but it's taking around 15 minutes to load the flux model. I've noticed that someone with a very similar PC is able to do it in just a few seconds. Here's what I'm working with:
- CPU: Ryzen 3600
- Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
- Storage: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB (running Windows 11, connected to SATA 4)
- PNY 960GB SATA SSD (I believe it's the CS900, used for extra stuff, connected to SATA 3)
I recently came across a post that suggested checking the UltraDMA CRC Error Rate in CrystalDiskInfo. I checked both drives and they both show "100" for the C7 ID. Does this mean there's an issue with the drives or the SATA cables? Just for reference, I have an M.2 in the motherboard, so I know that SATA 5 and 6 are disabled.

It sounds like your SSD health is actually good since "100" typically indicates everything is running smoothly in SMART terms. Can you share a screenshot of your CrystalDiskInfo results? That might help pinpoint any issues.
I’m not home right now, but I can get that screenshot for you tomorrow. From what I see, everything is listed in blue, and my Windows disk shows 80% life left. Just a heads up, that SSD has been with me for quite a while.
